In a Spanish Cigarette Factory.

When you enter the enormous rooms
crowded with girls dressed in bright
colors the coup d'eil IS striking in the
extreme. In one immense low-vaulted
room there are 1, 500 girls. They sit in
endless rows, about twenty girls to the
row on either side of the room, all at
little tables all rolling cigarettes, There
is blaze and blur of color, babel of
tongues. Every girl has gay handker-
chief about her neck-every girl has a
bright flower stuck in her hair. All
along the wall hang the gay outdoor
dresses of the little cigarettemakers. AS
1 walk blushing and nervous down an
endless avenue of flashing eyes, grow
almost giddy 1t is a sea of women's
faces, an undulating ocean of flower
decked heads. One has to pick ones
way carefully down the central avenue,
for it is blocked all along the line with
cradles. The married cigarettemakers
are allowed to bring their babies with
them to the factory. They rock the
cradle with one foot while their busy
fingers roll the cigarettes.
"Silencer is called by the forewoman
as the visitor passes down the line, but
there is "chut-chut, every second from
some dark-eyed woman who points to
a cradle and holds out her hand. 1t is
the habit of visitors to bestow occasional
coppers on the babies, and so all the
young mothers are on the alert for the
visitors charity.
The girls earn good wages. At many
of the tables whole families are working
together. But the hours are long and
the atmosphere awful. The damp, warm
odor of the tobacco in the long, low
rooted rooms is in itself almost stupe-
flying. But there is no ventilation, and
the atmosphere is absolutely indescribable.
Many of the girls smoke cigarettes at
their work.

A Literary Curiosity.

The Royal Library at Stockholm con.
tains a remarkable literary curiosity,
called the devils code, which is said to
be the largest manuscript in the world.
Every letter of this gigantic piece of
work is as beautifully formed as if it
were minutely and carefully drawn, and
; it seems almost impossible that it should
have been done by single human being.
The DEVILS code was brought 10 Sweden
from Prague after the Thirty Years War,
and the Deutsche HdUstraUeR ZejtuRg tells
the following story of its origin: A poor
monk who had been condemned TO death
was told that his sentence would be com
muted if he were able to copy the whole
Of the code in a single night. Relying
on the impossibility of the task his
Judges furnished with the original. pen
and ink, and left him in his well barred
prison. A drowing man catches at a
straw TO save himself, and the unfortu-
nate monk began TO try his last impossi-
BILE task with the vain hope of accom-
plishing it. Before long, however, he
saw that he could not save his life by his
own weak exertions. Afraid of a cruel
and certain death, and perhaps doubling
I the promise of better life hereafter, he
invoked the aid of the Prince of Dark
ness, promising TO surrender his soul if
he were assisted in his task. The dark
spirit appeared as soon as he was called,
concluded the contract, sat down like
any copying clerk, and next morning the
DEVILS code was finished Pal Mall Ga

A Western Wild Goose story.

81 want to tell you a little story about
my boy out in Newbraskey,n said an old
farmer in the smoking-car to party of
drummers who had been telling him
some pretty tall yarns. "My boy is a
good deal of a genius in his way, lemme
tell you, and none of 'em gets ahead of
him. T'other day he rugged up a kite.
1t was the biggest kite I'd ever set eyes
on. 1t was about six feet wide, an
twice as long, an on the top of il my
boy placed "A few green branches which
he'd cut from cottonwood tree.
What's them forF l inquired Never
you mind, dad, says he, Il know what
Pm about And, by gosh he did. He
flew that kite up in the air, an stood
watchin' of it for long time, when l
says to him: You'd better pull that
thing down, now, an get to your work
'Lemme alone, dad, he replied, I'll git
thar yet And, by gosh he did. The
next time | took a look at him he was a
hauling in on the kite line, and a smile on
his face as broad as furrow. When the
kite came down near the ground | saw
what he was a-smilin' at, an it was
enough to make body smile, too. Any
you tellers want to guess what was on
that kite2"
None of the drummers wanted to guess,
and the old man continued his story:
oval, sir, a-sittin' on the top o. that
kite was eleven o. the purtieSt wild geese
We ever saw. Yes, sir, eleven on 'em.
You see, the geese was fyin' north purity
thick, an my boy had got up this
scheme to catch 'em. There amt many
trees out our way, and after fat goose

what my boy was countin' on when he
built that kite. BY offerin' the geese
place to stop an rest, an by smearin
the top o. the kite with tar, so their feet
would stick so fast they couldn't get
away, he did the business. BY gosh
but it was fun to pull them geese in. Just

THE LAND OF LITTLE PEOPLE.

THE LAND BEOEAsE.
Far away, and yet so near us, lies a land
where all have been,
Played beside its sparkling waters, danced
along its meadows green,
Where the busy world we dwell in aud its
noises only seem
Like the echo of tempest or the shadow of a
dream;
And it grows not old forever, sweet and
young it is to-day
'Tis the Land of Little People, where the hap
py children play
And the things they know and see there are so
wonderful and grand,
Things that wiser folks and older cannot
know nor understands;
In the woods they meet the fairies, find the
giants in their caves.
See the palaces of cloudland and the mermen
in the waves,
Know what all the brides sing Of, hear the So
crets of the fowrs-
For the Land of Little People is another
world than ours.
Once twas ours; tits ours no longer, for when
nursery time is o'er
Through the Land of Little People we may
wander nevermore,
But we hear their merry voices and we see
them at their play,
And our own dark world grows brighter and
we seem as young as they,
Roaming over shore and meadow, talking to
the birds and flowrs-
For the Land Of Little People is fairer
world than ours.

Have fell the benediction of its hand.
